The crystal is actually one of the shards of the original Ata'mal crystal. Prophet Velen held the crystal prior to the raid on the Exodar, when it fell into the hands of the Burning Legion. DreadlordCuluthas holds the crystal, who believes himself above the rule of the Legion with it in his possession. Nexus-Prince Haramad, leader of the Consortium, sends a party to triangulate its location, and reclaim it. Inspired by the selflessness displayed by the adventurers in bringing it to him, Haramad attunes his personal teleporter to Shattrath City, where it is delivered to the naaru A'dal.
